Chapter 1423 Heroes do not suffer immediate losses

Let’s talk about Yang Shen and Zhang Zhao who left, they immediately returned to Hannan Academy and prepared a "Hongmen Banquet" for Xu Jin in a row, while people were still using lunch as if nothing had happened on the Wangjiang Tower.

Just as Xu Jin and others were about to eat, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairs. After a while, two men, a fat and a thin man, panting, walked up to the fourth floor. Surprisingly, there was no waiter leading the way.

Zhao Datou and other personal guards were originally feasting on the big buns, but they all looked up and looked at the two men in unison.

The two men seemed particularly cautious. At this time, they were stared at by a group of fierce soldiers with murderous intent, and they didn't even dare to be so arrogant. They smiled and bowed, "I'll disturb you."

Zhao Datou stood up carelessly and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

The slightly fat man said carefully: "I am Sun Kewen, the governor of Hanjiang River." He said, and pointed to the tall and thin man beside him and continued: "This is Fan Xixian, I heard... the noble prince is having a meal here, so I'm here to pay my respects."

Zhao Datou touched the big bald head and cursed inwardly: "It must be the three sour people just now, and their mouths are really big. After only one meal, even the parents here were alarmed. It seems that the coach can't keep a low profile even if he wants to."

"Bigou, let them come over." Xu Jin waved his hand and said calmly.

Zhao Datou made way when he heard this. Prefect Sun and Fan Tongzhi hurriedly thanked him and went to Xu Jinxing. At this time, Wang Cuiqiao had already put on Mili again, covering up his peerless appearance.

Sun Fan and the others walked carefully to Xu Jin, bowed respectfully and said, "The emperor met Prince Beijing, but he didn't know that the prince was coming and he was missing."

Xu Jin waved his hand and said indifferently: "I went in vain and didn't want to disturb the local government. How did you know that I am here?"

Sun Kewen accompanied him carefully and replied: "Not long ago, a lord named Zhao Bo in this county happened to have dinner with several gentry. One of the gentry surnamed Wang recognized Wang Jia, so he boldly speculated about the identity of the prince. The subordinate officials did not dare to neglect him, so they came to pay their respects."

Xu Jin couldn't help but realize that it was the first time that some of the gentlemen who left the table recognized him. That's right, Yang Shen, the old boy, should be disdainful of spreading everywhere that he was in Hanzhong City.

Fan Tongzhi next to him finally took the opportunity to speak, and said with a flattering smile: "The officials and others have set up a banquet in the government office to welcome the prince, and ask the prince and everyone to move the jade steps."

Xu Jin waved his hand and said, "I have received the kindness of the two adults. I just finished my meal, so there is no need to worry about it."

The prefect Sun and Fan Tongzhi looked at each other nervously, their faces changed and they were a little at a loss. No wonder, who made Xu beheaded and famous? Such a big prince suddenly ran to the ground under his jurisdiction quietly. Sun and Fan were surprised that they were not nervous. Now Baba came to show off to invite Xu Jin to dinner, but Xu Jin refused flatly, and the two of them were naturally even more frightened.

Seeing this, Xu Jin was both angry and funny. As the saying goes, he never did anything bad in his life and was not shocked to knock on the door in the middle of the night. These two people were panicked, probably because their butts were not clean. However, Xu Jin's trip was just a transit and he had no emperor's fate. There was no time to control the local affairs. What's more, these local officials had to strictly investigate. It was estimated that few of them were absolutely clean. As the saying goes, there would be no fish when the water was clear. As long as it was not too much, the court usually turned a blind eye to this.

Seeing that Sun Fan and the others were worried, Xu Jin was embarrassed to scare the others again and said bluntly: "I am just passing by Hanzhong this time and will take the boat to the east tomorrow. I didn't intend to alarm the local government. But since you know, please ask the two to prepare a big boat for me, whether it is renting or buying, I will pay the silver as soon as possible. As for your banquet, I will not eat it, I really can't eat it."

When the prefect Sun and Fan Tongzhi heard this, they were overjoyed. A big stone hanging in their hearts finally landed. The prefect Sun smiled and said, "It's okay for Prince Beijing to have a big ship. Our Hanzhong Prefecture has developed water transportation. The most important thing is the ship. The officials can arrange it immediately."

Xu Jin's heart moved and asked, "Can you really make arrangements soon?"

Magistrate Sun's fat face turned slightly red and said embarrassedly: "It can definitely be arranged within half an hour."

Xu Jin clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll bother Lord Sun. I don't have to stay in the hotel. I'll sit here for half an hour and then board the ship owner!"

The prefect Sun and Fan Tongzhi looked at each other in surprise, and the latter said carefully: "It's afternoon now, why don't the prince stay for one night and set off tomorrow?"

Xu Jin raised his sword eyebrows and asked, "Can you not prepare a big ship within half an hour?"

Prefect Sun and Fan Tongzhi quickly waved their hands and shook their heads. Prefect Sun even patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, if you can't prepare for the big ship within half an hour, the subordinates will let the prince deal with it."

Xu Jin smiled and said, "That's not the case. I'm in a hurry to rush on the road. It's the best to be able to get early. It's really not too early, so it's okay to wait a little longer."

When Sun Fan and the others heard this, they stopped trying to keep the Buddha. In fact, they were eager to send the Buddha away as soon as possible, so they exchanged a few more greetings and hurriedly left to prepare the boat.

Seeing a prefect and a co-master left happily, the maid Qiu Yan couldn't help but secretly stick out her tongue. The prefect is a dignified third-rank official, and he is so humble in front of the master.

Wang Cuiqiao glanced at Xu Jin with beautiful eyes and chuckled: "My husband is so anxious to leave, is it because he wants to avoid that Yang Shen?"

Xu Jin showed a look of praise. Although Qiaoer is calm, she is extremely intelligent and can see her intentions at once. Hey, Yang Shen is not kind. I really think I can't guess that you are in the "Hongmen Banquet". I don't fall for this, and I can't afford to offend you or hide?

Who is Xu Jin? A veteran of two lifetimes, how can Yang Shen fight with him just by his little knowledge?

In fact, when Yang Shen deliberately mentioned the "Zuoshunmen Shi" that was almost killed by Lu Bing, Xu Jin became alert, so he deliberately changed the topic as if nothing had happened and asked about Yang Tinghe's recent situation so as not to take advantage of the issue. As a result, Yang Shen turned to hold a banquet to entertain him, but he said goodbye and left without allowing him to refuse. Xu Jin naturally guessed the other party's intention immediately.

As the saying goes, he is dedicated to his work, either a traitor or a thief. He is not familiar with him, Yang Dazi, and has had a feast with his son Yang Tinghe. It is obvious that there is absolutely no good banquet for this banquet, and he probably wants to dig a hole for himself.

So Xu Jin had already made up his mind that after the meal, the thirty-six strategies would be the best way to leave, and he was too lazy to worry about dealing with the other party. Anyway, he had never promised that he would definitely attend the banquet.

Wang Cuiqiao chuckled and teased: "It turns out that the Marshal Xu, who is invincible in the battle, also fled in panic."
